MITCHELLsTowN, Sept 2l.-John Dillon
was witness to-day at the inquest into the
Mitchellstown fatal riot. Mr.. Harrington
complained thata Dublin paper had declared
that the police would be justified in making
him acquainted with tho peculiarities of a
horse-pond. This language, he said was an
incitement to the police TO commit violence,
and the court should not permit such Ian
guage to be used with impunity. Mr. Murphy,
while not justifying the course of the paper,
considered that Mr.. Harrington's calling
Sergt. Ryder murderer and villain pro-
Soked tho comment. Such language had
never been uttered without meeting with re-
proof in any court in the civilized world.
Mr.. Harrington retorted that he should con
tinue to use the same language. The Coro-
ner deprecated the retort. Sergt Ryder
was then recalled In the course of his
testimony he said: "Mr. Harrington called
me murderer, scoundrel and rutliar, and
said he would kick me off chair, -
Harrington-1 call you liar in addition
to scoundrel, when you make such state
ment will call you a murderer again,
and before have done with you | win get
for you the punishment of a murderer.
ONSLAUGHT OF THE POLICE.
Mr.. Dillon deposed that the police entered
the crowd without giving warning. He saw
them pressed back, and shouted: Let these
men alone" The meeting then proceeded
quietly until second attack was made by
the police. He followed the retreating con
stables to their barracks and found few
persons outside the buildings. He failed
to induce the inspector to withdraw the
police That officer, however, withdrew
his men subsequently. Magistrate Seagrave
arrived simultaneously with the military,
and to Mr.. Dillon's request not TO march
troops through the crowded streets, turned
back and muttered something like II am
not here to answer the questions of every
d. jackanapes. The inquest was ad-
journed until Tuesday.
THE THUNDERER ON DILLoN's SPEECH.
LONDON, Sept 2l.-The Times, COM
menting on the speech made by Mr. Dillon,
at the meeting of the National League in Linn
erick yesterday, said: "Mr Dillon's speech
reads rather like an unconscious confession
of weakness. There will be many more
such confessions if the government
continues steadily and unflinchingly in
its task of vindicating the law.
The law is now really a power and has
passed away from juries of periured parti-
sans Mr.. Dillon and his kind are natu-
rally anxious to sustain the errors of the
league We do not disguise from ourselves
the fact that the struggle will be sharp
one.n
Mr.. Gladstone has written a letter to
Glasgow Liberal in which he deplores the
grave acts of the Irish police against the
people of Mtchellstown, and what is still
graver, the approval of those acts by the
government He continues:
~ trust the country will not be slow to
condemn that indirect approval, given
without awaiting the result of an inquiry,
and thereby discourage repetition of the
proceedings it was eminently calculated to
promote
PROCLAIMED LOCALITIES.
DUBLIN, Sept. 21.-Freemdns Journal
says the localities in Ireland proclaimed
yesterday by the government are those in
which the most sweeping evictions have
taken place, and argues that these localities

voked.
